I was advised to have a mole removed. The private clinic in London wanted £700 for the removal, and the initial consultation was £250.
I flew to Poland instead, and had it removed at another private clinic for £80.
All the staff in the top clinic in London are Polish anyway.
Paying crazy amounts of money for medical procedures is just dumb. I cannot understand why Americans would pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for surgery when they could fly to Europe, live the highlife, and also buy a house with the change.
- surfmike 8y agoBecause their insurance pays.
- raverbashing 8y agoYeah, but the copay sounds it could be more expensive than doing it entirely abroad
